This 'Blue Mountain Chakana' Sodalite Chakana Cross Filigree Pendant Necklace by Independent Artisans pays homage to the chakana cross. It is handcrafted with intricate sterling silver filigree. The cross is set with a round stone of natural sodalite in the center, evoking the blue skies above the Andes. This pendant necklace is a beautiful piece that symbolizes the union of the spiritual and mortal worlds. The natural stone may have variations in color and/or pattern.
Nancy and her family founded Paola Siza, a jewelry workshop named in honor of their first child, Paola. “Siza” means “flower” in Quechua, symbolizing the blossoming of a new chapter in their lives. Together with her husband Richard and brother-in-law Edwin, Nancy brings years of experience from working in jewelry workshops to specialize in silver filigree, a delicate art form that weaves fine strands of silver into lace-like designs. Each piece is created entirely by hand with uncompromising attention to detail and quality. Beyond crafting exquisite jewelry, the family aspires to expand their workshop, providing jobs for neighbors and training opportunities for young people interested in preserving this heritage. For them, jewelry is not just adornment but also legacy—a way to celebrate Peruvian artistry and ensure its continuity for future generations.
Handcrafted in Peru, this necklace is made from .925 sterling silver and sodalite. It features a cable chain with a combination finish and a lobster claw clasp. The total weight is 0.33 oz. The necklace is 17.3 inches L x 2 mm W, and the pendant measures 1.5 inches L x 1 inch W x 0.1 inches D.
